A/N: Hello, my dudes! Wow, I don't have anything to say... wow.

I Hack A Computer

I followed Chiron into his office. He told me to close the door. I did, then I sat in the chair in front of his desk. I had a bad feeling.

"Now, Percy," he started, "I really would like to hear the prophecy, but since you insist, I'll just cut to the chase and tell you what you want to know."

He cleared his throat then said, "Now you know that the next child of the Big Three to reach the age of sixteen will decide whether to let the titans rule, or the gods."

I nodded, ready to hear the prophecy.

He cleared his throat again, louder this time and said,

"The next child of the Big Three to reach sixteen

Will unravel the world at it's seems

It will decide who will reside

Upon the mighty throne

They will emerge from the water, the answers unseen

And tell the Titan's true means

Until the last moment, it will hide

The choice that will be known… As I said before, Percy, some of the lines make sense to me now, like: They will emerge from the water, the answers unseen. You are a son of Poseidon, so that would explain the water part… And tell the Titan's true means… I knew it must be Kronos, I just didn't know how."

"Chiron…" I hesitated. "The oracle gave me two prophecies…"

I saw Chiron stiffen.

"…and that was one of them."

"That's never happened before… it is quite disturbing to hear you say that, child."

"Chiron," I started again, "my first prophecy said nothing about Typhon, but you knew that already… didn't you?"

Chiron looked at me a moment before saying, "Yes, child, I did."

"But… how?"

He sighed. "It was written all over your face… so was something else."

I looked down. "I… I can't tell you the prophecy," I looked him in his brown thousand-year-old eyes and said, "You just have to trust that I'll do the right thing."

He nodded. "I do. Do you have a plan?"

"Yes…" I hesitated again. Should I tell him this? I decided that I should. "Chiron, Nico visited me at the end of last summer."

"Nico?" he sat straighter up and gave me a hard look.

"Yes, he said that there might be a way to defeat Kronos. That he still had some weak spots and that a… mass explosion could send him back to Tartarus. Is it at all possible that Daedalus's workshop is still intact?"

Chiron thought about it. "I suppose…" then he got suspicious, "Why do you ask?"

"No reason, uh, I got to go to sword practice, see ya."

"Percy-" but I was already gone.

Okay, I have this plan, see? And, uh, it's unworthy of Athena, completely suicidal, requires my 'betrayal', and is the best chance we have of defeating Kronos. Here comes the big but… BUT (see, I told you) I'm still working out the kinks. I have been working on this since I talked to Nico, and I'm starting to wonder if the kinks are really solvable, but that's why I need to talk to Grover.

"Yo, G-man!" I called to Grover. It was just after dinner and every one was filing out of the dinning pavilion.

Grover walked up to me and said, "Yeah?"

I grew serious- I just had to tell them. "We need to find Annabeth."

We found Annabeth and walked to the beach and sat down. It was sunset over the Long Island Sound. This was always my favorite time of day. I loved to see the water become wrapped in red silk, getting ready for the night…

I sat there staring at it. Grover and Annabeth stood behind me, silent.

"What's going on, Percy" Annabeth asked, "Are you going to tell us the prophecy?"

I was silent for a moment and didn't turn around when I answered. "Yes… but not the one about the quest." I turned around to look at them now…

They were silent, their brows furrowed in deep contemplation. I had told them the second prophecy, and, by now, the sun had sunk until it was nothing but a small sliver red against the horizon. Night was falling.

"I'm starting on my quest day after tomorrow," I told them, anxious to break the silence. I didn't tell them that the oracle gave me two prophecies, I'd keep that to myself for the time-being.

"Where are you going?" Grover asked.

"First I'm going into New York, then I'm going to California."

"Mount Tam…" Annabeth said. It was a statement, not a question.

I nodded. "I need to borrow Daedalus' laptop. And I need you to dissolve our empathy link."

"Why do you need the laptop?"

"And why would you want to dissolve the empathy link? What if you got in trouble? We wouldn't be able to help you!" Grover practically screamed at me.

"Look," I said firmly, "there is almost a 100% chance that I won't come back from this quest. I don't want you two to get caught up in that. If you two got hurt because of me… I would never be able to forgive myself."

So Grover taught me how to make and dissolve empathy links, along with a few other tid-bits that I knew I would eventually find to come in handy. Annabeth lent me her laptop.

The next day the three of us were sitting on the beach, reading files on the laptop. We had gone through about fifty files already when we came across one that we couldn't get at. I had clicked on it and caused a little box to pop up and say, "Please enter password."

"That's an inaccessible file, Seaweed Brain." Annabeth told me. But would I listen? No.

I played around with the keys a bit, typing in random words and phrases. Then I realized something. I typed in 'Icarus'.

The little box closed and the voice said, "Access granted."

I grinned from ear to ear. Annabeth and Grover just looked dumbfounded.

"You… you just hacked a file in Daedalus' laptop… one that I've been trying to get into ever since I got it." Annabeth shook her head in amazement.

The file said 'Labyrinth Structure and Advanced Weaponry'. I opened the file and began to read.

Annabeth and Grover left me hours ago. I was in my cabin now, reading everything I could on those files. I knew two things for sure: I had to find Rachel Elizabeth Dare, and I had to convince her to take me back into the Labyrinth.

A/N: OOOH! Cliffe! My first one, yae!
